“Plant was masculine, but beautiful in such an obscenely feminine way.

Page was ethereal, effeminate, pale and fragile.

Bonzo played the drums ferociously, seldom with a bare chest, resembling a fighting gorilla.

John Paul Jones co-ordinated everything and stayed in the shadows.”

— Ellen Sander

Batfam Band AU

Here's what I like to think all the Batfamily members (the kids) listen to

Dick Grayson - I think he listens to a lot of Folk/Country music because it was the type of music they played while traveling in the circus. Though, I would like to also think that growing up, he would listen to a lot of Radio Pop to assimilate

Jason Todd - my boy is a theater kid, but I feel like he would also listen to a lot of oldies music, 70s/80s hits, because that's what Cathrine would play around the house. I also think that a lot of his bonding with Dick came from a sharing music tastes together, so he does appreciate Folk and Country music. I also think that Jason will listen to any music anyone puts on and he'll enjoy it. Like, he's not picky, and he's allowed Aux because he knows what type of music everyone likes.

Tim Drake - Indie music. Timbers is a skater boi with depression and anxiety. If he's playing music for other people, like in a car, it'll probably be stuff like The Arctic Monkeys, and the Neighborhood, but if he's alone he's definitely staring at a wall listening to Boygenius, Lizzy McAlpine, and Conan Gray (But he is so Guts, by Olivia Rodrigo coded)

Cass - Rock/Heavy metal, or classical music. there is no in between and I feel like i don't need to explain myself

Stephanie - I feel like her music taste is really similar to Tims, but she's more open about listening to Lizzy McAlpine, Phoebe Bridgers, and she probably listens to Lana Del Ray.

Duke - R&B. I'm pretty sure that's the general fandom consensus. Steve Lacy, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, ect. He'll be singing "Die for You" and Bruce immedietely bans the song because Duke is currently the only child to not have died.

Damian - he says he listens to Classical music, but he's really listening to the Steven Universe soundtrack through his earbuds. The only person who knows this is Jason, and then Jason gets him into musical soundtracks.

They all will belt Taylor Swift anytime any day. Especially to bug Bruce

Listen, sure, you're not normal about whatever character you've hyperfixated on, same but...

What about a SONG?? No fandom, Just... The music...

Today's compilation:

Monsters of Rock 1998 Hair Metal / Hard Rock / Arena Rock /Heavy Metal / Pop-Metal

Good lord, this had to have been one of the most heavily advertised albums of all time, man. I don't know how much ad money the Razor & Tie label shelled out for all of their 'As Seen on TV' comps back in the day, but the commercials for Monsters of Rock and Monster Ballads were fucking inescapable throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, especially. Like, you'd be watching something on cable, and the commercial for this album would come on, so then you'd change the channel, and the same commercial would be playing on there too! And then you'd just force yourself to sit through it, and eventually, through repetition, the entire sequence of little song snippets that gets played throughout the ad would become a permanently etched medley inside of your goddamn mind, destined to haunt your soul for the rest of eternity:

🎶Cum on feel the noize, girls rock ya boys…my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe…poison!…*synths from Europe's "The Final Countdown"*…round and round, what comes around goes around, I'll tell you why…she's my cherry pie, cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise…we're not gonna take it, no! we ain't gonna take it…she's only seventeen, seventeen…here I go again on my own…I'm no fool, nobody's fool, nobody's fool…so hold on loosely…🎶

youtube

Now, the hair metal era may have been the dumbest and most ridiculous period of mainstream rock that we've ever borne witness to—and it's very difficult for me to think of another commercially successful subgenre in which rank stupidity has been such an inherently defining trait—but thanks to a combination of my own nostalgia for these damn Razor & Tie ads and my sometimes weird and ironic affinity for bad shit, after listening to this album, there is really nothing more that I want to do than hitch a ride back to 1990 so I can live out a super corny fantasy as a badass suburban high school senior who cruises through town in a boxy, red sedan with the windows down as these silly songs blare out of my speakers 😎.

But like I said, I am also under no illusion here; I'm fully cognizant of just how patently absurd so much of this music was. And when it comes to the pinnacle of pure trash, I really don't think anything ever quite managed to top Warrant's signature 1990 anthem, "Cherry Pie," which is obviously on this album. Like, have you heard or thought about this tune recently? It really might be the single-dumbest song that's ever been recorded in human history. And as the single-dumbest song that's ever been recorded in human history, it has thankfully and, I guess quite fittingly, been memorialized in some way, since…*checks notes*…you can currently go see the pizza box that its lyrics were originally transcribed on at the Hard Rock Cafe in Destin, Florida… 😭.

🎶I scream, you scream, we all scream for her Don't even try, 'cuz you can't ignore her!🎶

Also, Winger's "Seventeen." Yikes; you can probably guess what that one's about! Talk about songs that haven't aged well at all 😩:

🎶She's only seventeen (seventeen) Daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me🎶

Yeah… This one's catchy and all, but, um…no. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Really glad we've finally realized as a society that, at the very least, fully-grown adults singing lustily about minors is a very unacceptable thing to do. I mean, it took way too long for us to get here, but at least we've finally made it to this point, right? And I think "Cherry Pie" is probably about a minor too, by the way, but that's also up for debate 😑.

To be clear, though, not every song on this album is embarrassingly dumb and/or skeevy hair metal. I happen to think Living Colour's alt metal classic, "Cult of Personality," is a genuinely great banger. And I also dig the southern rock smoothness of a song like .38 Special's "Hold On Loosely" too; but most of the rest of these are just pure dunderheaded hair metal classics, and a key, overarching feature of this stuff was just how fucking maximally mindless it all was. It's hard to put a finger on what exactly allowed this madness to spread so widely and flourish for nearly a whole-ass decade in the first place, but thank goodness grunge came along when it did and dethroned this stuff from its perch as rock music's top subgenre in the early 90s, because, seriously, this shit was so excessive and outrageous.

All that being said though, and as good and necessary as grunge was back then, I can't help but imagine what a kick-ass time it would probably be to have almost any one of these Monsters of Rock songs come on at the bar while you and everyone else around you are in a highly intoxicated stupor; like, "Black Hole Sun," "Man in the Box," "Interstate Love Song," "Even Flow," etc., might be total jams in and of themselves, but songs like those are probably not gonna do the same trick as something like Alice Cooper's "Poison" can in that type of situation. I mean, when you're fully committed to annihilating some brain cells, it's good to have music that's way ahead of you in order to accompany your experience, right? 😅

Highlights:

Quiet Riot - "Cum On Feel the Noize" Great White - "Once Bitten Twice Shy" Alice Cooper - "Poison" Europe - "The Final Countdown" Ratt - "Round and Round" Warrant - "Cherry Pie" Whitesnake - "Here I Go Again" Winger - "Seventeen" Living Colour - "Cult of Personality" Twisted Sister - "We're Not Gonna Take It" Judas Priest - "You've Got Another Thing Coming" Cinderella - "Nobody's Fool" .38 Special - "Hold On Loosely" Autograph - "Turn Up the Radio"
